Well I don't think I will ever by buying another Centerforce Clutch EVER again.
Last spring my 4.9 with the Isuzu 5spd blew something up. Was not sure exactly but it sounded like a hand grenade going off in the bell housing. I parked it and today I finally had the time to tear it down. I don't think I will ever buy another Centerforce clutch again. Thankfully my flywheel looks like it will be fine with a surfacing. The only area that got scored was near the center where there is no contact with a clutch. Note this clutch has only about 6000 miles on it. It never saw slicks or heck I never really took it to the track. Just played on the street. At the time of failure I was only running 225/50/16's on it. Well here are the pics and there are lots of them, so I hope you have broadband. I was baffled when I pulled the trans off to find this mess. I could not see where the metal had came from. The clutch LOOKED fine.
Here is the Pressure Plate both on and off the car. Then we get to the really broken stuff. Then a few group shots of the parts. Notice the springs are in pieces.

That's gros, David. I think of all the clutches my car has one through, I only actually wore out one. The other 4, including the one that came out of the factory, had the clutch throwout bearing break. But you have to replace the entire clutch anyways.
